We understand that you will be worried for your pet when it is in hospital, but rest assured they are in the best care and that we will be doing everything we can to make sure your pet is comfortable and to communicate with you to ease the worry.
Whilst at Calder Vets your pet will receive around the clock care by our team of qualified veterinary surgeons and nurses. Visiting hospitalised pets is possible, but you need to be aware that this will be limited. Should you wish to visit your pet in hospital, please make an appointment with one of our ward nurses. This means we can prepare for your visit, ensuring enough time and privacy for you and your pet.
